Each day that @govbilllee delays Medicaid expansion leads to more health inequity that disproportionately affects communities of color and rural communities who are already unjustly underserved #BlackHealthMatters #ExpandMedicaid 1/7
Lack of insurance and unmanaged chronic conditions have led to significant racial health disparities in COVID-19 deaths in Tennessee. Medicaid expansion is a lifeline to adequate preventive and acute care. Expansion would provide funding for resources #BlackHealthMatters 2/7
The number of uninsured Tennesseans who would be covered by Medicaid expansion is growing. 300,000 uninsured Tennesseans and approximately 86,000 additional Tennesseans will be in the coverage gap in the next 6 months #ExpandMedicaidTN 3/7
For far too long, Black people have been subjected to systemic racism baked into American systems, and healthcare is no exception. Black people have been faced with disparities in health care and health outcomes for decades. #BlackHealthMatters #ExpandMedicaid 1/8
Eliminating racially-motivated barriers to health care must be a top priority for Tennessee. Health justice is racial justice. Focusing on improving Black health is integral to the rectification of our state’s history of racism. #BlackHealthMatters #ExpandMedicaid 2/8
Health equity is impacted by a history of damaging policies that contribute to the social determinants of health, and we believe that improving access to affordable healthcare is an important part of the process of reversing the disparities that racism has created 3/8
